Is this even worth trying...

    One nite after many beers I decided to get onto Godaddy and "shop". Well I ended up with studentloanseeker.com. Do I have any chance (given the competition) to make $$$? My intentions are to run adsense and maybe an affiliate program (or two). I run a directory and do some design work but have yet to really dive deep into the world of advertising so any insight would be helpful from those of you who have. I have no delusions of making 100s a day...yet:) , but I don't want to put time into something that will never have a chance.

    Any advice is appreciated.

    Thanks for the thoughts...as I said, I have yet to pursue anything having to do with adsense or yahoo. I do have adsense on my directory but it really earns no money and will be removed shortly. I figure most people who go to the directory at this point could care less about anything but submitting their site(s).

    I say don't try it, because I've discovered that if you try, then you run the risk of failing. Why put yourself in that position, ya know?

    ....just kidding. ;)

    I haven't tried too hard, and have made a grand total of $0.94 in the past three weeks (that's when I launched adsense). I own a couple of domain names, and both sites are about nothing much. I created www.flexbux.com because I found myself going to FatWallet and SlickDeals to look for deals and free stuff; so I figured that maybe I should create a portal using RSS. My other site is just this and that (you can find it from Flexbux).

    So now, somehow, I get around 50 or so visitors per day with around 200 page-hits. I guess that is worth $0.94 over a period of 3 weeks!
